"This time when kindness falls like rain

It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind

She's talking in her sleep

It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn

And every word is nonsense but I understand and

Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Her kindness bangs a gong

It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away

It's chasing me away

She disappears and

Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing"

Anna Begins has been a breakup song for me since my first really serious girlfriend introduced me to August and Everything After. Counting Crows were one of the first "soft" bands I learned to appreciate thanks to her influence, along with The Cranberries.

I serenaded my wife with Anna Begins while we were courting, so singing it is a good acid test of how well my broken heart is healing. Today I only cried a little, maybe more out of sentimentality than heartbreak. Progress!
